This post is directed to the 7th gen Civic owners on the site. My fiance and I want to get her 03 LX lowered. In typical Honda fashion, the wheels are too small, and there is about 5 fingers worth of wheel gap, and it just looks like ***. I'm looking for suggestions and feedback from 7th gen owners regarding the springs they are using. I like the H&R Sports, but they might be too stiff for her. So, not too stiff, and not too low. Pics of you're rides would be nice too.
Thx.Mike

Ed's running the full Tein c/o setup tho..
16 ride settings on the strut

dunno if the spring on it's own would compare

do a group buy with EG4door..he also wants to lower his 7th gen EP3.

what is your budget? a simple spring/koni reds would do nicely....

Eibachs are good for our cars

Thanks for the info guys. There's really no budget for the springs. As for the shocks, I don't want to go really low, and will continue using the stock shocks. I'm leaning towards the H&R Sports, or the Neuspeed Sports. Both are very high quality springs, with a medium drop and good ride quality. Eibachs, I'll pass. SiR_Yo do you carry H&R and Neuspeed products?

imported_SiR_YO

yes, PM me for prices

i'm currently running neuspeed sports and the ride is comfortable with a reasonable drop.
but as the struts start to leak, the ride gets a bit annoying.

if you're not looking for that much of a drop, you might want to consider the eibach pro-kit. i found it stiffer than stock and gave the car better handling characteristics. but it wasn't a noticable drop.

DumbasSi

SedanBoy do you have any pics of your car?

SedanBoy: It does not have to do with your spring causing the shock to leak. Honda has had problems with the 01/02 civic shock assemblies. the seals are blowing due to manufactor deffects.

DumbasSi: Stay away from Eibach, their spring rates are terrible. Stick with Neuspeed or H&R.

I have H & R sports, I love the look, its not to excsive. The ride is okay, except when you hit that odd pothole, still not to shabby! Ill get pics in abit

eibach gets my vote...when i lower my car in the near future i'll get another eibach!! lifetime warranty too!

LongIslandRacer

eibach sucks for 7th gens because they only lower up to 1.4" with the sportline and 1" with the pro-kit (the drop on this is not even noticable). unless you're looking for a real mild drop eibach is a waste of money.

This thread is like 2 years old. I'm using H&R Sports now and I'm happy with them.
